Home Forums Gear Photography Blue Grande

I drove through my elk unit in northern Arizona this weekend, but was stopped where the river washed away the road. Park Service says the road to the north rim will be open May 15, but I do not see how they can rebuild the bridge so quickly as even the abutments are gone.

I met with another photographer from Flagstaff to catch the mid-April storm at the Grand Canyon. Late afternoon brought a back-lit snow squall and blue tones to the canyon.


Sunday morning, I had serious doubts of seeing sunlight in the canyon due to the fallen snow and low clouds, but the curtains of clouds did part and rise for a nice show.


Pipe Creek makes a nice leading V into the canyon. O'Neill Butte on Cedar Ridge catches some spotlighting.


A few more images are posted on the last page of the Grand Canyon photo gallery if you wish to view.

Beautiful work as usual Doug. I especially like the framing of the lit canyon walls with the gray clouds!

Neat country. I've always wondered how people were truly able to learn the the lay of the land back in the good ole days. I'd guess it was simply a case of trial and error. Pretty easy to get rimmed out if one really wants to line out across country.

Beautimous!

Beautiful photos to be sure, the view must be incredible in person.

awesome!
